Snow Nerd / Weather Forecaster


So I have this deal with my favorite Snow Nerd / Weather Forecaster / Ski Patroller / Avalanche Forecaster / PhD / 6th Alley Patron. Every time it snows 10 or more inches, I owe him one of his favorite beverages. I am always happy to pay. He has had a good winter.

May 1 Powder Skiing and Hiking


We had another beautiful Sunday hiking the Upper East Wall and skiing powder. It is May 1 and these were some of the best runs of the season. Specifically, we hiked the North Pole ridge and skied West Vertical Cornice and hiked the Willy's Wide Staircase and skied Corner Chute. Enjoy these pictures. They tell a great story.

Almost to Corner Chute. That is the Snorkel Door and Little Lenawee Peak in the top center of the photo.
